ReconRobotics and SSC Pacific announced a new bot that can be blasted out of a gun, crawl metallic walls and be deployed via a larger "marsupial" robot. This one pound, beercab-sized bot is a modified version of ReconRobotics' Recon Scout Throwbot. Discover Magazine's Discoblog reports that U.S. forces have already been using the current version of the ReconScout Throwbot, which can be tossed 120 feet, in Iraq and Afghanistan.
